What is it?

OpenCode is an open source AI coding agent. It is available as a terminal interface, and as a beta desktop application for macOS, Windows and Linux. It is installed through a shell script, npm, Homebrew, pacman, mise or Nix.

The project ships two built-in agents that you switch between with the Tab key. The build agent has full access and is meant for development work. The plan agent is read-only: it denies file edits by default and asks permission before running bash commands, which suits exploring an unfamiliar codebase or drafting a plan before changing anything. A general subagent handles complex searches and multistep tasks and can be invoked with @general.

The project is written in TypeScript and licensed under MIT. Its documentation covers configuration, and the repository includes contribution guidelines for those who want to modify the agent.
